I'd have to check my sources, but I believe that the pistols in Hitler/Braun's chamber were acquired for them by his valet and did not belong to Hitler prior to the suicide. Hitler used his, Braun did not use hers. As far as I know, no one knows the fate of these pistols - the serial numbers don't seem to have been recorded.

Wasn't it the Soviets who made it to the bunker first, and found the bodies outside the bunker, burned? Stands to reason that some Ruskie has it or at least took it from there. I can see it now, oiled up and hidden in a wall, because IIRC their gun laws are stricter "no, Vladimir, this was Hitler's actual pistol, Grandpa got it in Berlin in 1945...now lets have some vodka!"
